Kennedy Campaign Built Chatbot to Promote Views, Skirting OpenAI's Political Ban
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign created an AI chatbot using a loophole to bypass OpenAI's ban on political use
- The chatbot was built using Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service and a third-party provider, LiveChatAI
- The chatbot relayed Kennedy's amplification of conspiracy theories, like CIA involvement in JFK assassination
- OpenAI bans political use of its models, but Microsoft and LiveChatAI don't have this restriction
- After inquiries from WIRED, the Kennedy campaign chatbot disappeared on Sunday
